We visited the vineyard a couple of weekends ago for a wine and cheese tasting and were blown away with our incredible experience.
I purchased a voucher online for my husband’s birthday which was sent to me immediately (thank you Lucy!) Once purchased, you’re given a code to use when booking your experience on their website which is very straightforward. A confirmation email is then sent to you a few days before your chosen date with useful details about your visit such as parking information so do look out for this (thank you Becky!)
We were greeted by the lovely staff Alison, Tara and another young lady whose name I didn’t catch - but they were all so warm, welcoming and friendly. We arrived a little early which I’d recommend as you can have a walk around the vines, taking the self guided tour, order a drink at the bar and take in the beautiful views of the vines in the beautiful and comfortable seating area.
George was our host for the wine and cheese tasting and he was absolutely brilliant! He’s so passionate and knowledgeable and talked us through the whole process of winemaking which we found utterly fascinating. We also got to learn about the history of this organic vineyard and how the family started the business which was very enjoyable. George’s friendly approach to the tasting was highly appreciated and made the whole experience very fun and interesting. I would have to say it’s suitable for both wine connoisseurs and beginner enthusiasts alike.
The wine itself is sensational and the quality speaks for itself. But it’s also great to be able to support the flourishing British wine industry rather than simply buying a bottle of Champagne! We hope more local bars and restaurants will soon start offering wider selections of British wine too.
We are so very lucky to have such an amazing business with an exciting future on our doorstep in Surrey, so I highly recommended you pay them a visit and support this thriving, family business. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
Thank you to all of the Albury Vineyard staff for such a wonderful day (my husband was very impressed with his birthday present!) we shall be back again soon with our family and friends to taste some more of your delicious wine.
Best wishes for your continued success,
Clare and Geoff xx
